actually, with dual-layer burners & discs you can fit a movie & all its extras on a dual-layer disc, but the cost of said discs tends to not justify just outright buying it.
That being said, I've made a few DVD's from mpg files (like episodes of The Shield, for example) and watched them on my 36" tv instead of a 17" monitor. I use Nero, it's pretty easy - drag & drop, make a simple menu, and you're done. Burning can take time, but if your PC is fast enough you can still post/surf/download, etc without causing much of a problem to the DVD burning.
